This is a wide field image of NGC 7635, The Bubble Nebula. The wide field image includes the open Salt and Pepper Cluster (upper right), the Northern Lagoon Nebula (bottom center) , and the Lobster Claw Nebula (left center).
The Bubble Nebula is approximatley 7100ly - 11000ly in distance from the earth.
NGC 7635, also known as the
Bubble Nebula,
Sharpless 162, or
Caldwell 11, is an
H II regionemission nebula in the constellation
Cassiopeia. It lies close to the direction of the
open clusterMessier 52. The "bubble" is created by the
stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7
magnitude young central
star, SAO 20575 (
BD+60°2522). The nebula is near a giant
molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble nebula while itself being excited by the hot central star, causing it to glow.
NGC 7635 - WikipediaThis is a revision, of the OSC version (no simulated palettes). On review of the original SHO palette image, it became apparent that the automated denoise script utilized had clipped a significant amount of the dimmer nebula cloud from the original image.
In this version, I've manually processed to denoise to preserve that dimmer structure and pushed the image a bit more to make it more prominent. I hope you like the result.
